The Coast Guard has had its share of acquisition problems, but it seems the Canadians may be having more than their fair share (submarines, replenishment vessels, shipbuilding programs in general). They have been attempting to replace their Seaqking ASW helicopter and selected Sikorsky–usually a safe choice. Instead of a smooth transition, they have had repeated delays and disappointments. DefenseNews reports on the latest chapter.

These are admittedly more complex than SAR helos, but note that the Seakings they are replacing are the same generation as the HH-3Fs the Coast Guard replaced decades ago.
